A wealth of Christian thought lies at our disposal, ways in which the believer can approach our creator. Our intimacy with the Lord becomes our earthly spiritual home built on the foundation of our Church. These explorations will shed light on the faith that can feed the childlike and offer a depth of understanding to satisfy the most inquisitive. Presenting the richness of our faith is the purpose of this blog. May it bring its readers an ever growing closeness to Jesus.

Our Jewish Heritage
I had dinner with a friend who brought a Jewish friend. We spoke about life and faith, Jewish faith and Christian faith. She said that she was "spiritual" and disliked "religion." I told her my entire life was my "religion," my faith, and that as a Catholic, my deepest sympathy and feeling was for the Jewish faith as exemplified in the Revelation of the Old Testament. On her part, she asked, why do Christians hate Jews?
I said it was not true, that only barbarians hate Jews. Truly religious people realize their heritage: the Hebrew faith. How could Christians hate jews? Only through ignorance and passion. True Christian faith embraces Jews, and believers of all faiths.
